In this Dec. 5, 2019, photo, President Donald Trump speaks at a luncheon with members of the United Nations Security Council in the Cabinet Room at the White House in Washington. They include sweeping policy initiatives that stem from both sides of a divided Congress.Visit Business Insider's homepage for more storiesPresident Donald Trump signed into law a $1.
The eleventh-hour legislation came at a historic moment in Washington. On Wednesday, the House voted to impeach Trump after a September whistleblower complaint asserted that he pressured Ukraine to investigate political rivals. Trump has touted the $1.38 billion the measure allocated for the construction of a wall along the southern border, which has been at the center of a bitter dispute between the White House and Democrats. That amount was short of the $5 billion the president had originally demanded but no restrictions were included on his ability to transfer money from Pentagon accounts for the project.
"This legislation will have an enormous positive impact on public health in America, and it's needed now more than ever as we grapple with the youth e-cigarette epidemic," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said.
More government regulation!! This is not the Republican I voted for.
You guys know there is legislation in there to defund obamacare right? 😒
What a waste of money! Research what on gun control? How is this going to help solve the problem? Will it stop school shooting, terrorist acts on our military bases or protect a barber who got shot 3 times because a father didn’t like his sons haircut?
How old do you have to be to join the military and kill people for a living?
What about healthcare and education funding? They're part of the national defense also.
RealLockThemUp FAKENEWS Pres Trump didn't raise the smoking age...CONGRESS DID He signed the bill because more important items inside needed funding. Plus, this tells 18 yr olds what their representatives think of them.
The federal government raised the age to buy tobacco products without even bothering to extort the states as was done to raise the age for alcohol.
Why wouldnt trump just dye his hair black? My man lookin like he uses chlorine shampoo.
When it’s something people won’t like it’s “Trump did ...” when it’s something everyone supports it’s “the Dems did....” what a crock of shit.
Just ban gun and everything will be fine
Raising the smoking age to 21 but can go to war at 18?
Absolutely gun violence research I'll tell you my ex-husband was prohibited from owning and obtaining a firearm dangerous for the past 5 years he's a teacher in Oregon or did nothing even though I served each and every one of them all the politicians Senators the governor
Gun violence research, I'll take ways too waste govt money for 1000 alex.
Does IMPOTUS understand what he signed?
Absolutely 💯.
Why is money required to implement gun safety Just pass the laws.
Damned if he does, damned if he dont
waste of funds,,,ppl r gonna find ways of gettin what they want one way or the other,,it doesnt matter.
I thought the smoking age hike was already a thing? It's been 21+ here in TX for at least a year..
Fraudulent ...what's there to research? That guns kill ? Wtf...
Research on gun violence! However will the conservatives cope?
At least congress did something right
The fed is going to really have to blow up that balance sheet to finance this spending. We are basically Japan at this point.
Trump whistles while he does not work
I guarantee he didn't read either of those bills that he signed
a con artist business man who pledged to eliminate the deficit has done the opposite and did it in quantum light years faster than any president before him.....🤔
Kids have zero business vaping. We are ADULTS. FORMER SMOKERS. BIG TOBACCO WILL NEVER CONTROL OUR LIVES AGAIN NO MATTER WHAT. WEVAPEWEVOTE ALL 15 MILLION OF US. ŞWING STATES.. . LET US SWING, YALL!
WeVapeWeVote there are roughly 20 million ADULT VAPING VOTERS in Every swing state. WeVapeWeVote
You don’t have to fund gun violence prevention research (esp when gun laws here aren’t gonna change) that’s wasteful in itself.🇺🇸
What does he want a cookie?🍪🍪🙄🙄
JUST REMEMBER OUR NATIONAL DEBT....A TRILLION $ WAS ADDED....THATS TRILLION, NOT BILLION!!
Since smoking primarily affects the user, rarely adding to say. auto fatalities (there is some connection) i think it is inconsistent to say an adult client for contract can't make this decision by themselves...
Its appalling that you can join the military and die for your country at 18, but cant buy cigarettes until 21. How damn stupid
Crumbs
He was my choice but is really pushing it lately.
you mean he's actually do ign work and not tweeting about how 'great' he is? I'm floored!
No mention of the $Trillion budget deficits as far as the eyes can see or $22 Trillion national debt
Trump didn't do these things. These are proposals inserted by the Dem-controlled house.
Gun violence research! Background checks save lives!!!!! There! I completed your research.
smakhanian So we are going to spend more $ to conclude that violent people tend to chose guns as the weapon of choice. Could have told you that.
I thought he raised the age for smocking?
I think you meant 'smocking', Trump can't spell smoking.
Did realDonaldTrump just figure out he is being impeached too bad you refused to have a public conversation with a advocate for the government to get out of our DRs office! Beyond 50 million ppl, was praying for a hero and you are helping to kill off the sick! painptsvote !
Seriously? Guess we need to raise the age to vote to 21 and the age to enlist to 21.
'Gun violence research.' 😂 Typical Washington BS. No change, throw money at some 'research' to make it seem like we care. Give me a million, I'll tell you my results: WE HAVE TOO MANY FUCKING GUNS. Also, far right extremism is on the rise. Study over.
You know Donald didn't actually do these things, right?
Can I have a few thousand... I’ll research gun violence- they’ll just waste it 😂😂
Working for us, The US. Thank You.
Not we will hear the funds are from his own money.
الرئيس الغبي نصف عاقل ونصف مجنون
I'm sure that's what everyone was really worried about. Democrats idea but trump's fault
Read the transcript;)
This is not good , why are we funding gun control? Isn’t that what we don’t want, funding to try and take our guns? Good grief.
18 to defend the country but 21 to smoke? Don't let 2020 get the best of you yet
What's there to research when it comes to gun violence?
That’s a very misleading, perhaps deliberately so, headline. Trump did neither. The Democratic Congress demanded those items as part of the budget deal. Period. Given a chance, he would never have included funding for gun violence research. Do better.
Why so much $1.4 Trillions!!
nice
Wow something Good...is trying to earn Voters... Smart man
